Thanks for this, i started animating few months ago and its not going very well considering i have no time to animate a lot. But seeing this tutorials helped me in small things that make animating faster. Earned sub
If you want, you can change for the rig models the color, scale and transparency. But for material and texture you must take every bone one by one and work for it. I hope this info. will help you!
hey, i just recently installed Moon Animator 2 and it's a bit different? i can't seem to find any tutorials for the "newer" version or whatever I've got, the problem is, that when I put the rig in the menu, no limbs show up?? all it says is rig, properties, and Cframe
First, you can search in tool box for more face packs, second for body parts, you should know how to build a rig and how it works, if you get a R6 from RS, it will work in moon animator, if you made a model by you, you must weld every part and add humanoidrootpart.
For some reason every time i press "R" or "+" or any other types of input it does nothing because instead of Moon animator getting the input roblox studio gets it and nothing happens
Yeah, sometimes this issues iccures and the button don't work properly. If you want to add a keyframe you can also double-click on the boddy part bar or if you want to input anything else, search from the menu the button.
Seeing how you seem active I have a question! I noticed a problem when clicking the frame. Neither rotating or moving doesn’t appear when I click on it for any part of the rig. If you might know the issue it can help!
how do you change the moving style to move the rigs body? Specifically from the circles to the arrows? I cant figure it out Edit: I am dumb, it's R btw for anyone else wondering.
Yeah, everything will go in the initial position after you close the animation (warning: don't forget to save your animation after you are done) and if you want to continue it, go back to the moon animator and open the animation.
Yeah, if you see in the menu while you are working on project, you can see in the right of add models button, the loop button which it looks like a recycle sign. And for robotic part, I forgot to tell you but the second way of making it more smooth it's to put more frames in according time space. I hope this information helped you!

bruh how do i animate models from creator marketplace, i try grouping them to make them models but it gets rid of the clothes and becomes just skin. it also happens with union and folder grouping. If you want to help me spesificly im trying to animate a guts and blackpowder charater named barry. just serch up barry on the place.
Some of the models that you get from toolbox don't have ''HumanoidRootPart'' or any important details of a rig. In case you can do 2 things in this situation: 1. Get any model import tool, rather can be avatar or object, it doesn't matter. 2. You should follow this one because you can also understand why aren't the models working, watch a rig tutorial, I made one a while ago so you can watch it to get more informations. (I can also help you with any character/asset from G&B, DW, TDS, GRM5, etc.)
I finished the animation, but when i saved it and went back to play it, the thing clipped into the ground, I tried moving it back but the arrows for movement said it was still there, Do you know why or how to fix it?
if you got the body from anywhere else instead of plugin, the parts are not welded to the main part or other issues that you incur. But if you got the body from the MA plugin, it should do whatever you want (move the whole body).To move only the main part you must remove the joints from the main part to the secondary part.
You can just update the moon animator by searching again in the toolbox and click on the update button, it will force you to rejoin the place so u must save all ur stuff.
do you know what to do when a animation isn't opening? I was on the last couple steps on my animation and had to go, when I came back I couldn't open the animation.
Hey! First of all, awesome video, really enjoyed it. Second of all, I kinda need someone's help with the problem I'm having: I made my stupid animation, did the camera work, blah blah blah. I am now trying to record it and put it in the editing software, but I can't record it without having the rectangles (for me they're orange and as I can see, for you they're blue) that are for the corresponding body part. I have made 2 animations yesterday without any problems. Any way you guys know how to fix this?
dude, I have problems at the very start I literally cant move the character, when I drag the move tool it does absolutely nothing, same goes to rotate it doesnt even rotate
Maybe you've changed something while you had the animation on, that's why.If you didn't know, if you change properties of a model while you have moon animator 2, it will break the model.
@@TufDunavus im trying to make a tool that plays a fighting animation between 2 people, I inserted a sword inside them I think while moon animator was on but I tried to turn it off and on
Constant is the ease made for instant action instead of moving it in a amount of speed. It's under linear style and it can be used for camera justification or sometimes it can be used in the whole video as short instant movement if you know how to use it. I hope this information helped you.
im sure you answered this and i missed it, but when i try and animate let's say this: i want his arm THEN his head to move. so his arm stops, then the head moves. it'll slowly move both parts, how do i fix this?
if you had an animation already on, it can corrupt and don't work if you add more to the model. I advise you to build everything from the start and then animate.

I cannot make a tutorial for that but i can explain why is the keyframe playing ''early''.
